Having read some of the other reviews of the Museum, I guess we are in the minority in stating that we enjoyed our visit. The entrance fee is a modest 15 Seychelles Rupees and we were encouraged to take our time and take photographs. The history of the Seychelles is fascinating and is on display throughout the museum.
